The RX-78-4 Gundam Unit 4, more commmonly referred to as "G04", was more advanced in many ways than its more famous predecessor. While not designated as a space only unit, the G04, along with the RX-78-5, only saw combat in space with the 16th Autonomous Corps after the Battle of Jaburo. As such, it was outfitted with technology that had been developed after the deployment of the RX-78-2 and using knowledge that had been gained by that unit's combat experience. It was equipped with the standard vulcans and 2 beam sabers like the other Gundam units. It was armored with the new Luna Titanium Alloy. It was able to utilize all of the hand armaments of the Federation.

It was also outfitted with several things the older Gundam model was not. It was able to make use of 2 small beam guns attached to the forearms. They were presumably powered by the same E-Cap technology as the other beam weapons but, understandably, would have had fewer shots and lower power than larger beam weapons. The booster pack was larger and included external fuel tanks found on many later OYW mobile suits. It was also more subdued in color than the Unit 2. It was cream rather than white and the torso/shoulders were black with dark blue accents rather than the bright yellow, red, and blue of the White Base Gundam. It was, perhaps, as the RX-78-2 would have been had its development not been stalled by the attack on Side 7.
